SELENE GETS CHEATED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Today, we finally get our god or goddess, the ruler of the moon!" Zeus speaks loudly so that everyone can hear them in silence.
The arena is close to the boundary between heaven and earth, all the gods, even the one from the underworld are present.
"My children, Máni and Selene will compete for the title," Zeus pronounces with his chest heaving with pride.
Máni and Selene are twin brothers, born on the eclipse caused by the alignment of all the planets, this happens only every millennium. For five hundred and fifty years they have been trained hard for this great day.
Máni, at five meters and eighty-five centimeters tall, had silver hair, amber colored eyes. His body is muscular, with a square jaw and not a single beard. His voice is deep, his presence is dominant, and he can be felt for miles around. However, kindness has never been his strongest suit, he is arrogant, spoiled, and has always thought of himself as superior; the word love has never been part of his dictionary. He is an extraordinary warrior, the hunt is named after him. But Selene, never behind, always one step ahead of him; Máni didn't take kindly to this.
Unlike her twin brother, Selene averages four meters and sixty-three centimeters in height. Her hair, like her brother's, was silver, and the length went down to her slender waist. Her eyes were blue, a dark shade, but one that conveyed tranquility, and her skin radiated a bluish light. Her body was lean, but with all the muscles defined, she was the best at hunting, sports, and strategies. Her teacher was Athens herself, the eldest daughter and favorite of Zeus. Selene is fascinated by love, unlike her brother, she never wished to be any goddess, all she wanted most was to have a companion by her side.
Selene was hiding a secret, in the mortal world she will find what she has always sought. Love came in the form of a human man; he always looked up to the sky, while the stars were shining. She watched him for days, his shoulder-length black hair fluttering in the hissing night wind. His strong muscles from days of hard training, the dark color of his skin, his full lips and well-shaped beard, she was fascinated by the male beauty in front of her. But one night, she decided to disguise herself as a human and called him by name:
"Licaão" a sweet sound hovers over the calm whistling of the wind filling the young king's ears, as if the most beautiful of songs were resounding in his timpani.
"Who are you?' You could see in his eyes how impressed he was with the beauty of the woman in front of him. You will never be more beautiful.
"My name is Selene, what do you see so much in the sky?" she takes a few steps, standing side by side with Licaão.
"I miss the moon, it's been years since I've seen it in the sky, counting the months has become practically impossible," she says sincerely.
The ancient goddess of the moon passed away, she succumbed to the sin of greed and wanted to be more than a mere moon containing only highlights during the night, her service was only for the benefit of humans, without any recognition. She wanted to take the place of Zeus, she wanted to be worshiped, and so a war broke out and quickly came to an end; Zeus killed her in battle, her body fell into the abundant springs of the earth and made the waters salty, so that humans could survive, Zeus created fresh water among the heaps of earth.
The moon always played an important role, it was essential, when the ancient goddess passed away, the night sky was left without its ruler. Zeus made a replacement star, but she too died a few years ago. Luckily, it is not long before the new ruler is chosen, and the sky returns to its glory days.
"She will appear again," Selene says with conviction, and Licaão looks at the profile of her face.
'Coming from you, I have no doubts," he answers, smiling.
The nights went by, and the dates were already six months old. Every night the couple met under the stars on the beach. Selene sighed and counted the hours to see her beloved again. But this secret didn't last long; her brother found out and saw there an opportunity to win her over. Blackmail was not without honor for Máni.
"Give up the competition!' he imposes calmly as he walks with her through the white rose gardens.
"No, I've prepared a lot for this day, and I won't..."
"I'll tell Zeus about your escapades into the human world, and I'm sure Papa won't be happy about it" he threatens darkly.
At the same instant Selene's body stops moving, the air seems to become heavier, she disguises the slight tremor of her fingers clenching her hands into fists.
"Are you blackmailing me?" she asks, with one eyebrow furrowed and her mouth compressed into a straight line.
"My dear sister, I'm just making things easier for both of us," Máni smiles, showing her perfect teeth.
"I don't see how this can be easy," he says between his teeth with his jaw hardened by anger.
"When I become the moon god, I can intercede for you to become a human so that you can live by the side of your beloved," Selene begins to take an interest in her brother's words.
"Why a wolf?" her eyebrows drew together in confusion, and this amused Máni.
"On the day of the competition, we'll have to give each other a present, and I want a wolf, big and black, different from the others, bigger and with red eyes. I want him. Then we'll both be happy," he looks into his sister's eyes, making it clear that he is not open to any other kind of negotiation.
"Do you promise that I will be transformed into a human?" she sighs, giving in, this reaction makes Máni's smile open even wider.
"Of course my sister, have I ever lied?" he puts her arm around her sister's shoulder and they head for the castle of her father, Zeus.
Hope has blinded Selene, she should not have believed the false words of her twin brother.
